Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Outstanding!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/05/19

We incredibly enjoyed this Luau! I would recommend it to everyone. The train ride and walk through the garden set the scene for a beautiful evening.

Inter-Island Trip Kauai to Oahu - Pearl Harbor Day Tour with Airfare Included

Pearl Harbor Trip

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/05/15

The trip was nice. We had an excellent bus tour guide and on The US MO. We would have liked to have the Bowfin and Air museum included in the price. We spent too much time waiting in lines and wandering around the city, and would ahve preferred seeing more in Pearl Harbor. Overall we did enjoy ourselves.

Luau

The luau food was excellent, best we experienced in the Islands. The program fell short of our expectations. We have seen better in other venues.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

Handicap Access

Reviewed by: Mrs. Harless, 2008/05/12

The trip was listed as a short, rugged walk, but is handicap accessible. I would have liked this information ahead of time, as walking on concrete is very painful for me, and I would have taken my scooter if I had known there was a paved walk way. I would like to go again sometime, when the ferns have recovered from the damage of the 2006 Hurricane. Cruise was informative, entertaining and fun!

We had a great time surfing in Kauai. The water was a bit colder than expected, but the thrill of surfing the wave makes you forget about the temperature. Mahalo!

3.5-Hour Kauai Napali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar - Holo Holo Charters

Fantastic Cruise

Reviewed by: Saadia and Phil, 2008/04/23

This was an awesome cruise. The captain gave us a great narrative of Na-Pali as we cruised and enjoyed the beautiful sights. The crew was very friendly and the service was excellent. As an added bonus we were able to spot quite a few whales which was an unexpected treat since it was the middle of April when most whales are on their way back to Alaska.
We had a perfect evening with minimal clouds which ended the cruise with a beauitful sunset. We also saw a dolphin as we were making our way back to the dock.
Aaron, one of the crew members also gave us alot of history on Kauai. I highly recommend this cruise!
Thanks Holo Holo Captain and crew for making our cruise such an unforgetable experience.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Lunch

Best of the Island

Reviewed by: Kauai Fan, 2008/04/19

The bus took us all over the island and we got to see everything up close. I was thankful I did not have to do any driving and could enjoy the scenery. Everything was so beautiful. I came away thinking Kauai was my favorite island. It was worth every penny I paid and I think the best of all the circle island tours. I took one Circle Island Tour on each island and Kauai was the best. The guide was very informative and I learned things about Kauai that I otherwise would not have known being out on my own. The only thing I would suggest is to plan on being really tired the next day, and just to relax the next day because you do and see so much that it tires you out.

Kevin was a fantastic teacher! Having never even snorkled before, it didn't take long to get comfortable in the water. Was so exhilerated after, am planning on getting scuba certified for my next trip. Smoothly run & very well explained. Loved the video and am recommending this activity to everyone.
Thanks a lot Kevin, will see you next year. Mahalo!!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Smith Family Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/04/02

We enjoyed our experience at the luau. The food was very good and they were very experienced at moving a big crowd through efficiently. It was great having the Hawaiian music during dinner. The show was pretty good. We did enjoy it, but it doesn't quite compare to the show at the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu, which is the best. This one was good, and it tried to have different islands represented, but the numbers were all very similar to each other. Loved the fire and volcano and the dragon. It was an enjoyable evening for our family.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

Fern Grotto Boat Ride

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/04/02

Our family enjoyed this short boat ride to the Fern Grotto. The Grotto itself has changed since our last trip to Kaua'i. Sit on the left side of the boat while it is at the dock (which will then be the right side going up the river). That way you can see most of the sights the guide points out on the way to the Fern Grotto. It was informative, especially for first timers. Next trip, we will probably kayak up to the Grotto.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Awesome time...

Reviewed by: The Desio's, 2008/03/28

We had a great time on this tour. It is a 2.5 mile kayak and about a 2 mile hike to a spectacular waterfall. We went in March with our 9 yr old son. These are two person kayaks that you cannot have children in the middle. I ended up pairing up with another mom who came with her family. Our guide was very knowledgeable and able to tell us all about the trees and plants around us and other things along the way. We hiked to the waterfall where we had lunch and able to swim under the waterfall. This is definitely something to try.

Reviewed by: C2O, 2008/03/27

My friends and I can't say enough good things about the staff at Outfitters Kauai. We had a blast with the staff during our kayaking, hiking, swimming, rope-swinging, truck riding. Everyone, from Rachel to Lauren to Nate were all very pleasant, humorous and overall good people. This excursion is absolutely recommended for anyone and everyone looking for an overall great time. This is absolutely the first thing that we will be looking forward to on our next visit to Kauai.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Smith Family Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/03/17

This was a great luau -- more than we had hoped for, considering we thought the luau we attended on Maui was going to be best out there (it turned out to be a tie). The Smith family certainly knows how to treat its guests. Not only did you get a wonderful tram ride around the estate (to check out the beautiful peacocks and lush landscape), you got a great meal followed by a wonderful show. We were very impressed.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Good end of the day entertainment

Reviewed by: Sue, 2008/03/12

we spent the day kayaking the Wailua River and this was the perfect cap on a perfect day. The gardens are lovely, the luau food I assume is typical for luau food, which isn't exactly to mainland tastes, but we didn't really go for the food anyway. It was delightfully entertaining, with lovely dancing. It was my first luau so I don't have much to compare it to, but had heard about this one, so we tried it. I would recommend it to anyone, it is a good value for the moneye.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Kamika Smith

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/03/02

The Luau at Smith's Tropical Paradise was very nice. I was impressed with the multitude of talents on display by the staff, such as Kamika Smith managing, cracking jokes, singing, and even serving coffee - he seemed to be everywhere. My wife, her mother and I really enjoyed the food, music and show. It was a very pleasant evening.

The one thing I would say had room for improvement was the mai tai punch - it was 1 or 2 % abv at most, 4 or 5 % abv would have been better.

We would be happy to return next time we are on Kauai. Overall our trip was a lot of fun and very relaxing - just what we needed.

We took this tour on our honeymoon in Kauai, and we are so glad that we did. Not only it was fun but also very historical and educational. What a great way to learn and view the island that you do not see in a guidebook! We will come back with our kids (hopefully) in the future! Thank you for everything!

Smith's Family Luau

Reviewed by: TheTexas Nicholas', 2008/02/19

WHAT A TREAT!! We went to the Luau after visiting the Fern Grotto and had the perfect ending to a perfect day! We had a lei greeting then boarded the tram that took us along the winding path so we could see the beautiful gardens, lush tropical trees, lovely scenery. After walking around the grounds, we all gathered at the in-ground oven to view the digging up of the roasted Imu (pig). Then everyone went to the lovely dining area where we all enjoyed tropical drinks and the delicious feast. During dinner, Hawaiian entertainers performed traditional Hawaiian music, singing, and hulas. Children were invited onstage to learn the hulas so it was great fun to watch!! Following the feast, everyone went to the grand outdoor theater to witness the torch lighting and a spectacular Polynesian music production where each of the Islands presented dramatic traditional hulas and music. It is great family fun, not to be missed!!

Good Family Fun

Reviewed by: The Nicholas', 2008/02/19

As first-timers to the Fern Grotto, my husband and I had a great time!The boat ride, hula instruction, music, and entertainment were typically Hawaiian, which is just what we wanted to experience! We took the 3:30 Fern Grotto trip so we could follow it up with the Smith's Family Luau (in the same location). The Luau cuisine was great followed by a spectacular music production professionally presented providing us with a greater understanding of the traditions and heritage of the Polynesian culture. WHAT A SHOW! We recommend BOTH of these for your family and friends. You will not be disappointed!!

Overall this was a great trip. It would have been a little nicer to have a slightly smaller group (we had 20 people and they told us it was one of the largest they had ever done), but otherwise excellent.
Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable and it was a LOT of fun!
